11th Annual BMW Campout, Somerset Pa, June 2013

We return to Pioneer Park Campground located in south central Pennsylvania. Pioneer Park is a terrific full-service camping resort with excellent showers and facilities, minutes away from the Pa. Turnpike Exit #10, Somerset, Pa. or the Donegal exit #9.

Admission is just $45.00 for the full weekend ($40 if pre-registered) and includes, two nights camping, three meals, loads of door prizes, self-guided ride info and 11th Annual rally pin for the first 100 pre registrants.

Somerset is home to the new National Park at the Flight 93 crash site. Frank Lloyd Wright‘«÷s masterpiece Fallingwater is 40 minutes away. You are only 30 minutes from Historic Johnstown Pa, and its Flood Museum and National Park. There is great riding in any direction with many self-guided tours available.

I play acoustic guitar, a little mandolin and electric bass. A guitar has been my second rider for more than 6,000 miles of travel to rallies on an LT. Now that I have a K1200RS, I may be switching to mandolin as a travel instrument.

Are you a musician?

George, I have a hard time playing the radio, let alone an instrument

It's always nice to have some live music around the campfire. One guy (can't remember his name) from Ohio has showed up with a harmonica.

Lincoln Highway

Here is another piece of history that can be partially experienced while attending the rally.

The Lincoln Highway began life in 1913 and became America‘«÷s first paved, coast-to-coast motoring route. Named highways, like the Lincoln, began disappearing, however, when the Federal government began implementing its new numbering system in 1926. Although the Lincoln was no longer a designated highway and began fading from the view of the larger motoring public, it never completely lost its nostalgic appeal to a segment of motorists. Historical interest grew in later years, resulting in the national Lincoln Highway Association being reactivated in 1992. The organization‘«÷s purpose is to commemorate the memory of this historic route and to promote tourism. Several of the 13 states along the original route have also established their own associations and websites to promote tourism.

To celebrate the Lincoln‘«÷s 100th birthday, a number of activities are being planned for 2013, including a cross-country anniversary tour. Participants will start at either end of the original route, in San Francisco or New York City, and meet in Kearney, NE on June 30 for a big celebration. If you‘«÷re interested in participating, get the relevant details at the Lincoln Highway Association website (www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org).
